plz recommend a sealant

[Asonyexec]

While Im in the typing mood and before I have given the wipe on wipe off method a try - what other sealants would y`all recommend (besides the Klasse).



I have a silver Lex GS (`02) so Im not going to get that "pop" but I would like a smooth, protected surface.

To make silver pop, I`d recommend the Klasse twins (AIOx2, SGx5) topped by S100 carnauba. I hope I wasn`t too eeeviill! :D



Read the many posts on SG to hone in on application techniques that make it a painless product to use and still get you a brilliant finish. Follow the S100 directions on the container. Don`t let it dry before you buff off.



It`s unfortunate that you found out the hard way how not to use SG and S100.

For silver try VM (Vanilla Moose) and EX-P (2 coats). That is a very nice combo that can be topped with a wax of your choice if desired (Natty`s, S100, etc.).



VM and EX-P are very easy to apply/remove also. Won`t offer the longevity of SG, but will look very nice on silver.

I like to use Zaino on silvers and golds.....It looks good and the durability is awesome. :xyxthumbs

I found AIO/Wolfgangx2 or NXTx2 ( both topped with S100 ) to be equally sweet combos on metallic silver......

You can`t forget 1Z MP with 1Z GW. It looks good on my metallic gray.

I totally agree . . . 1Z really makes the metallic flakes pop. If you look at silver very closely under bright light, it has a very cool kaleidoscope effect.

Klasse AIO and 4 * UPP looks great on silver.

As much as it mains me to say it, Zaino is good on silver. I used Zaino on my Alitma and topped it with EX-P, man what a great combo! IF you have a dark colored car I would us EX instead of EX-P, it has Carnauba in it, real nice wet look. One combo I used on my 2003 Mustang Cobra was VM, EX-P, EX, EX-P, CMW. I kind of think that I locked a layer of EX in between the EX-P. Here are some pics!!

I agree with some of the earlier posts, Zaino Z2 would be a good match for your silver GS.



Z2 provides insane levels of reflectivity; great on lighter colors like silver and it does a great job on bringing out the "flake" in metallic and pearl finishes. It is also one of the top performers when it comes to protection and durability.



I might go with a wetter looking LSP on a vehicle which had very "fluid" lines, but on your GS I think Zaino would look great IMHO.



Just my 2 cents ....

I see the ZAINO stuff getting good write-up on this board, my only question is where do you get the stuff?? I usually buy my products from the autopia page but I don`t see the ZAINO products offered.



any links or pages would be appreciated.

...but if you already have the Klasse, why not use that ? I`m a regular Zaino user, but have had great results on silver, beige, light colors in general with Klasse AIO/SG.

when you ask for sealant suggestions you`re gonna get pretty much a list of every combination possible.. everyone prefers something different :)

[Asonyexec]

SK, i mentioned earlier I didnt care much for the amount of work required to use SG for the results. BUT, I was told to use the WOWO method so I will before I give up the SG.



In the meanwhile I just wanted to get a list of other sealants in case i really get fed up with the SG and can be ready to place my order HAHA.





Thanks for the link.

Just be aware that AIO/SG is underwhelming to look at. When you have a few coats of SG (good to be in the 3-5 coat range), you would find out why it has stood the test of time. It is really wonderful to look at. AIOx2/SGx5 :cool: :up :up
